Early hitting from a variety of players and tight defense sparked BYU softball’s 9-0 victory over Pacific on Saturday afternoon at Bill Simoni Field.

“We came out strong today and played a complete game,” BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. “Our team was determined after yesterday's split.”

The Cougars (24-19, 5-1 West Coast Conference) scored nine runs on eight hits while holding the Tigers (12-25, 2-4 WCC) to just two hits in five innings, due to the NCAA eight-run rule.

Eight different Cougars scored, led by Lexi Tarrow going 2-for-3 at the plate along with three RBIs and two runs, including a three-run dinger.
